I must be nearing the end because all of the playing and singing it getting sloppy. I like the call and response thing in the verse. The punches on the guitars are pretty shitty. I like all the sauce I put on the sax. So it's hit or miss…

I forgot to write an ending for this one. That's why it fades out. Lots of squawky saxophone. I must have been running out of gas when I recorded it. The lower vocal part has a lot of iffy pitches. I'm sort of glissing between notes and I…

Another band mix of an acoustic song. I had a hard time getting GarageBand's drummer to fit. I went from way too busy to way too passive to mildly too busy and decided to live with it. I think the problem was probably the 7/4 time signature…

The plan for the RPM Challenge this year is to do an album with two distinct parts. Side One (if you'll indulge the ancient way of thinking) will be a straight up bar band. The instrumentation will be my normal guitar/bass/drums/vocals. Side…

This is an alternate mix of an RPM2020 song. I'm hoping half of my album will be arranged for acoustic guitar, hand percussion, and saxophone. I also want to do an alternate mix of each of those songs with the usual three piece rock band arrangement…

Long story... or, What the hell is a cajon anyway? I listen to a podcast about cover bands. One of the hosts is a drummer and he plays in an acoustic group. He said he played his cajon at the acoustic gigs. I thought, what the hell is…
